Vida Del Padel is expanding fast in the North East and we are looking for motivated coaches to grow with us.

This role is focused on delivering high quality padel coaching and helping us build a strong coaching programme across our clubs in Guisborough, Hartlepool and Eston. We are keen to hear from both existing padel coaches and tennis coaches who are open to moving into padel.

You will deliver a mix of adult and junior coaching, including group sessions and some individual coaching, as well as supporting matchplay sessions and events. The focus is on creating a fun, welcoming and professional environment where players improve, stay in the game and feel part of the Vida Del Padel community.

Sessions will mainly be during peak times which includes some evenings and weekends. There is flexibility around exact hours and this role can work alongside existing coaching commitments, with the ability to build more hours over time.

We can support suitable tennis coaches with their padel coaching pathway, including working towards Level 2 padel coaching. This is a great opportunity for a coach who wants to stay in racket sports and expand their reach with a brand that has multiple locations and is one of the fastest growing padel operators in the UK.
